JACKETED CAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 432,346, dated ruiy15,1890.

-Appiicanon filed Aprn z8, 1890.

T0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SEBASTIAN WALTER, of Milwaukee, in the county ofMilwaukee and State of lVisconsin, have invented new and usefulImprovements in J acketed Cans; and I do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of said invention, referencebeing had to v the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, which form a part ot' this Specification.

My invention relates to devices adapted-to securing a jacket orsheathingand a false bottom' to vessels, particularly such as oilcans. Thedevices are used in that class of vessels constructed of tin which areprovided with a jacket or sheathing ot wood and a false bottom.

In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of an oil-can provided with ajacket and false bottom secured thereto by my improved means. Fig. 2 isa vertical section of the device shown in Eig. l, taken on line 2 2thereof. Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the same device, parts being brokenaway to show inte# rior construction. Fig. 4 illustrates small sectionsof the can, its jacket, and false bottom, with my improved devices shownas they exist in the process of construction, the parts bein g separatedfrom each other, but arranged in their relative positions, oreouvenienceof illustration.

A is a can constructed of tin, and is such a vessel as is in common usefor holding oil. The can is constructed, preferably,with alaterally-projecting rib B at the upper extremity of its vertical walls, and isprovided with a sheathing or jacket C, formed of a thin strip orveneering of wood placed around its vertical sides. In constructing thisdevice a lnetal seam-covering D, formed of a strip of metal, preferablytin, folded together longitudinally centrally, having its edges turnedoutwardly, forming a rib E and flanges E F, is used at the vert-icaladjoining edges of the jacket, the rib E being inserted between theedges of the jacket, and the iianges F F being against the outer surfaceof the respect-ive ends of the jacket. A band G, having aninwardly-turned iiange H, is slipped over the top of the jacket,

and the jacket is then slipped onto the can from the lower end, beingforced upwardly against the rib B. Another band I, having aniI1\I'ardly-pI-ojecti11g rib K, is slipped over the jacket around itslower end. Two or more tabs or metal strips L L, that are soldered atone end to the outside of the can near its lower end, and which projectdownwardly therefrom, are turned outwardly beneath the jacket andbeneath the rib K and downwardly alongside the downwardly-projectingflange M, integral with and forming a part of the band I. A false bottomN is then fitted within the flange M, bearing against the rib K, and thetabs L L and flange M are turned in against the under side of thebottom, whereby the jacket and bands are secured permanently to the can.The ribs B and K are conveniently formed by folding the sheet metal ofwhich they are severally constructed upon itself. The upper and lowerends of the seam-covering D are beneath the bandsGand I, respectively,whereby the seam-covering is held in place and serves to cover the seamand hold the adjoining ends of the jacket in place, even though the woodshould shrink somewhat.

I have shown my improved device in connection with anV oil-can as beinga vessel in which it is very conveniently and desirably used; but thesame device may be used in other vessels of similar construction whereprotecting-jackets and false bottoms are required.

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination,with a can, of a jacket constructed to surround andcover the sides of the can, and means for securing the jacket to the canagainst slipping off the can at its bottom end, consisting of a bandaround the jacket near its lower end, which band has a rib projectinginwardly, on which the bottom of the jacket rests, tabs aliixed to thecan and bent outwardly beneath the jacket and the rib on the band, andafalse bottom extending beyond the bottom ot' the can beneath the rib onthe band, over the edge and against the under surface of which falsebottom the tabs and a projecting flange of the band are turned,substantially as described.

IOO

2. The combination, with a can, of a sideinclosing jacket bent aroundthe can, a band G, having a flange II about the upper end of the jacket,a band I, provided with a rib K about the lower end of the jacket, afalse bottom fitted against the bottom of the can and extending beyondthe edge of the can beneath the rib K, and tabs affixed to the can andextending over and turned beneath the false bottom, substantially asdescribed.

3. The co1nbination,\vith a can and a sideinclosing jacket fittingthereon, of a false bottoni fitted to the bottoni of the can and projecting outwardiy beneath the bottom of the side-inclosing jacket, andtabs aiiixed to the can and bent outwardly beneath the saidinclosing-jacket and turned over the edge and SEBASTIAN WALTER.
